Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have settled in the UK under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Scheme to date.
The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of refugees that have been resettled in the UK within Immigration Statistics Release. The data on nationals of Syria that have been resettled under the VPR
scheme are available in the Immigration Statistics: April – June 2014, table as.19 from GOV.UK on the statistics web pages at: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/series/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release.
This showed that there were 50 people resettled during this period. Updated numbers for the period July- September 2014 will be published on 27 November.
